Payton, USA TODAY Some prepackaged salads sold at Trader Joe's have been recalled over concerns that they contain an undeclared allergen. Trader Joe's Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon was recalled because it may contain milk that is not declared on the label, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in an announcement on April 28. About 500 units of the salad were mistakenly packaged with a sealed packet of parmesan cheese crumbles instead of a packet of crispy onions, the FDA said. The salads were sold in 18 states across the country, according to the announcement. This week's announcement also follows an earlier recall from Trader Joe's for a batch of Hot Honey Mustard Dressing that does not expire until the end of May.

Frito-Lay chips recall upgraded to most dangerous classification over ‘life-threatening' risk
Frito-Lay's latest recall has an elevated risk status due to an undeclared ingredient in some corn chips that can cause a 'life-threatening' allergic reaction. On Saturday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall of 13-ounce bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips as Class I. This type of recall is 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,' according to the FDA. The FDA initially announced the recall of a limited number of these chips on April 2. The recall was initiated because the bags may mistakenly have been filled with nacho cheese tortilla chips, meaning they may contain an undeclared milk allergen. If someone who's allergic to milk eats these chips, their reactions could 'vary in severity from mild symptoms involving hives and lip swelling to severe, life-threatening symptoms,' the FDA states. Along with milk, the most common undeclared allergens are wheat, shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, and soybeans. The recalled product from Frito-Lay was distributed to a range of retailers across 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Chip bags were first sold on March 7, with less than 1,300 bags included in the recall. There have not been any reported allergic reactions due to the error. This isn't the first time that Frito-Lay recalled a product due to an undeclared allergen. In November, a limited number of Lay's Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they may have contained undeclared milk, which Frito-Lay learned 'after being alerted through a consumer contact.' The recalled product was sent to retail stores and distributors in Oregon and Washington, and it was available for purchase as early as November 3, 2024. Two months later, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) elevated this recall to a Class I recall. There have been a slew of food recalls issued throughout the last month. On Saturday, Johnsonville, LLC recalled approximately 22,672 pounds of its cheddar bratwurst product, according to an announcement shared by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. The recall was issued because the sausages may have been contaminated 'with foreign material, specifically hard plastic.' The recall was initiated after Johnsonville, LLC received complaints from two different customers reporting hard plastic found in their bratwurst. At the time of writing, there have been no reports of injuries due to the consumption of the sausage. Also this month, Trader Joe's issued a recall on its Hot Honey Mustard Dressing due to a 'labeling error.' The FDA stated that dressing bottles with a Use By Date of May 27, 2025, were incorrectly labeled with a nutrition sticker that did not accurately include an allergy warning for peanuts, soy, sesame, or wheat.

Juice recalled in 12 states due to possible botulism contamination
A juice sold across 12 U.S. states has been recalled due to a potential contamination with botulism. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a report on Tuesday about Walker's Wine Juice recalling its pumpkin juice because it may contain botulism, which is a 'potentially fatal form of food poisoning.' According to the report, symptoms of botulism include general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, trouble with speaking or swallowing, difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension, and constipation. The recall was issued after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors discovered the juice's pH was 'too high to be processed per Walker's 'hot fill' schedule process.' 'As a result, it was determined that no adequate kill step was used to address the possibility of microbiological hazards,' The FDA's release read. While it was not determined how many containers of pumpkin juice were recalled, the FDA clarified that it applies to all lots of Walker's Wine Juice's 2.5-gallon bag in a box and 5-gallon hot pack labeled 'pumpkin' in addition to their 30-, 60-, and 275-gallon bulk containers also labeled 'pumpkin.' Walker's Wine Juice is based in Forestville, NY, but the pumpkin juice was distributed to commercial wineries in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. There have currently been no reported illnesses, and customers who have purchased the pumpkin juice are urged to contact Walker's Wine Juice in order to dispose of it properly. The recall comes a few days after Trader Joe's issued a recall of one of its popular salad dressings after a number of incorrectly labeled bottles hit the shelves. Fresh Creative Foods announced on Sunday that it was 'voluntarily recalling' certain bottles of its Trader Joe's Hot Honey Mustard Dressing due to a 'labeling error.' The FDA has since published the notice, which stated that dressing bottles with a Use By Date of May 27, 2025, were incorrectly labeled with a nutrition sticker that did not accurately include an allergy warning for peanuts, soy, sesame, or wheat. The affected dressings have the product code 80152 and were sold at Trader Joe's locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
